no shoulder exercises?

[@TheNikaProduction]

+British Youth Dips work the front and side shoulder and the chin up works the rear delt. You don't need to isolate everything. That's why guys don't grow sometimes. Spending time on bicep curls and lateral raises. Just do a compound and if you want do an isolational at the end then do it

[@MrFredHoogendoorn]

Well thats good. I'm doing elliot's 5x5 program with front squats instead of normal.

[@Sayfullah570]

Need to atleast include bench press in this routine. unless you're going to rely solely on dips to build your chest and shoulders

[@GreekAssasin101]

I'd honestly say weighted pull ups are better than rows but hey, thats just an opinion.

[@MisterRandom101]

Pull ups are better for width, rows are better for thickness. The best is to use both.

[@GreekAssasin101]

TheRoyalChipmunk Yes. But if you only have time for 1, you should do pullups. That is all that I mean. I am not saying rows are a bad exercise. And really, having time for only 4 exercises in a week is pretty unrealistic.

[@MisterRandom101]

Not really. Some people only have an hour or less on hand. So something like stronglifts which only incorporates 6 exercises would be perfect for building a well rounded physique on what time you have.

[@christosswc]

Squats:Lower back Deadlifts:Lower back Bent over rows:Lower back. Sure thing. Bent over rows and deads do not have a place in the same program imo.

need deadlifts

[@timlee5784]

deadlifts are a must !

[@maskedartist8017]

roger that will see to incorporate deadlifts

[@Magnus_Loov]

Good all around training, but a couple of things could make it better 2. You won't need regular push-ups if you do dips. Dips are taking care of training of the triceps, chest and shoulders in a much better way . The harder variations of Push-ups, like plyometrics (hand claps and the likes), diamonds (with a great lean-over) are great compliments though . The kind of planks in the pushup top position (arms extended) where you "lean over" the shoulders are great though if you want to benefit from some of that type of training that you get with push-ups (done in perfect form). There's a youtube video with some great bodyweight exercises (46 of the best bodyweight exercises or something) where there are a lot of great push-up varitaions! 5. Glutes and hamstrings gets covered and then some with correct form deadlifts, as somebody already mentioned. For great cardiovascular workouts, instead of doing the stair climbs, try some treadmill uphill running intervalls. Or just find a hill to run outside (but that means less controllable rest periods where you have to climb down the hill really tired). If you already have the basic conditioning (VO2 max covered), you won't benefit that much from long stints on a stairclimber. Intervalls on the treadmill set to 10-15% incline (uphills!). 30-45 seconds running. 1 minute rests are great for both glutes and hams. Important is to push with your hips when running and to run on the forefoot/midfoot). That means not to "sit down" with closed hips where you also land on the heal, which actually acts as a break. That means you will be running with at least 17 km/h and upwards in the sprints (around 20 km/h for me) 10-15 minutes on the treadmill with that type of running every third day is plenty.. If you keep up the stride frequency (shorter faster steps) you won't get nearly as soar compared to the stairclimbing and you will also benefit from a much more functional movement. Varying that with intervalls on the rowing machine and the bikes will are great for avoiding overuse and to add variation. IF you then try to incorporate more walking and standing in your daily life (stand in front of the computer, walk instead of taking car all the time) for "the fast burn", to work on the so called "NEAT" (Non Exercise Active Thermogenesism google it!).. Long time cardio workouts like 40 minutes on stairclimbing in addition to strength training just sets you up for overtraining (especially if done 6 times a week!) In addition to both build up your cardiovascular fitness, it will also help you keep a much better intensity in the tougher musclebuidling excersises (deadlifts, weighted chins and dips and so on), since it will allow you to tolerate lacic acid much better so that you can lower the rest time between sets, It will mean that you will have a great time under tension workout that means you can be at the gym for 45-60 minutes instead of 1.5-2 hours and get much more efficient work done compared to the "conterproductive long time in the gym cortisol producing workouts"! I mean, if you work out intensely enough with deadlifts, squats and so on (meaning you are grasping for air lying on the floor after a full work set/drop set) you just can't/shouldn't workout for two hours! And it will also mean that you won't have to be at the gym for 6 days a week, since you just can't recover from the newly much more intense workouts, if done properly! Less i really more! The extra time you save not being in the gym could be spent on learning new movements, perfect the form on some calistenic movements. Or just spend it on something completely differnt making you "Defocusing" from fitness. Google GMB(gold medal bodys) for example for some great ring work or againfaster for some fantastic lessons in how to deadlift or just about any complex non-machine exercise. The you could also google bodyrecomposition forums for some general info about optimum diet and training for the natural athlete. If you have the strength I would add handstanding push-ups for both shoulder width and general stability in the shoulder region. And some gymnastic ring workouts to ADD to stability ( doing dips and chins in the rings, l-sits and so on), that makes for more functional (read stronger) and healthier muscles (less injuries in the long run, meaning you can progress with really heavy weighted dips and chins (even negatives) with less risk of injuries for super results!

Every single one of this guys videos teaches me something new. I have been in bed with chronic pain since 2012, started re-training around the pain back in December. With the help of this channel I am making great progress; I’m not so bothered about the physical, more the emotional and psychological. Lots of vids on KZbin about getting big or cut, but not many address the positive benefits of training for mental health and addressing loneliness and other issues the disabled face. This guy does.

Crazy how no matter what plan you look at, be it something as simple as four exercises, or a crazy plan involving all kinds of whacky shit, everyone says to do deadliest and squats, yet there's NEVER a group gathered around the squat rack.

[@TheBigChad]

Everyone skips leg day, that's why. It's sad

[@DreamerTrain]

One reason is that majority of people at the gym have hypertrophy as primary goal and strength as secondary and squats are not the best exercise for this goal, they're king of leg strength but if you want big legs you're better off with leg presses and leg extension machines. Another is its technical difficulty, it's pretty hard to get the form down and leg press and other machines proper form requires little work.

[@onegaisti]

Work up to pistol squats, one handed push ups, one handed pull ups (that covers legs, push, and pull), and then buy a decently heavy kettlebell and start doing kettlebell swings, which is a decent substitute for the deadlift. All you need for this workout is a place to do pull ups and a kettlebell.

[@tsohgallik]

Nah, just buy ankle weights, two ten pound and two twenty pound dumbells, and wrist weights... stretch around a bit use the dunbells... and that's it!

[@oscarstenberg2745]

Learn handstand push ups, do 10x10 in a staircase so you get full rom. Put random heavy objects in a bag and do one arm push ups, one arm pull ups, muscle ups and pistol squats with it. You can also get gymnastic rings and do weighted dips! For sprine, do bridges or lift stones in the forest.

I did these 4 for almost 6 months, they are awesome and the gains were even more awesome. 225lb deadlift to 415lbs in those same 6 months for example. The ONLY problem was no overhead strength. When I switched to Olympic lifting anything over my head was piss weak.

[@rodlaz1984]

***** Obviously. One is a push using shoulder muscles to push weight above your head. The other is a pull using back muscles to pull weight up towards a bar. The two are not related, difference muscles groups used.

I workout at home and I thought I would share my experience because I am putting on lots of muscle despite not going to the gym. At first I bought a dip station, doing dips has increased my chest size very quickly, lots of definition too. I have also started doing squats, I never used to do them until I had the idea of using my kick boxing bag as a weight. My idea now is to make as much gains as I can from home using basics, then once I start to plateau I will start going to the gym.

[@Stefman1983]

After all of these years of finding information about weight lifting, and lifting/trying different methods, this video has probably influenced me the most and stuck by me. Pick things up, pull yourself up, natural movements/motion as we do in nature.

[@ericorozco5831]

I'd say do a lower body exercise, a push exercise, and a pull exercise on a day. Nect time pick 3 different variations. Grips can be changed (or foot position) to target different muscles slightly, and the angle of the pull or push can also be changed. examples: Deadlift (Yes it's a lower body exercise. It mainly targets the hams, glutes, and lower back) Bench press Pull ups back high bar squat over head press Bent over rows low bar squat Dips chin-ups high bar squat incline bench press underhand griped rows Stiff legged deadlifts decline bench oress neutral grip pull ups front squats close grip bench press wide grip rows

[@muna5066]

Well if you're deadlifting, you are getting back muscles with that. My back is always sore after deads. Not really the lats but def the middle, lower and my traps. I can't do a pull-up workout justice after deads. For example, on a normal day starting fresh (after a warm-up) I can get maybe 10-12 muscle-ups. When I try to do them after deads, I can only get half as far because my back and CNS are too burnt out for max exertion. The other days look somewhat doable but deads do hit back pretty hard if you're going heavy enough. Deads hit everything except the areas that a bench press hits.

[@ericorozco5831]

Yes you do get back muscles from a deadlift but it mainly targets the glutes,hams, and lower back as i stated. If your back upper back is sore your probably not using enough leg drive. Your hips are shooting up too early and your turning it into a stiff legged deadlift. Perhaps, perhaps not. And exactly it's your cns and calories getting burned up not your your lats. And deads also dont hit the biceps nor the delts. Bench press only hits the front delt.

[@muna5066]

Eric Orozco Hmm. I guess I feel it in my upper back a bit more but either way, I agree with your main point that an ideal pull exercise is needed in the mix (probably a bent-over row for overall back size and strength, or variations of pull-ups and chin-ups with weight) To really get back and side delts properly, I'd always do something extra. They never get hit enough as bystanders, although as far as functional strength goes, I think he's right that they will get hit enough.

[@311i0t]

Day 1: Deadlifts and dips. Day 2: Front squats and chinups.

[@Adaptanium]

Mine: 1- Front squat. 2- Overhead Press. 3- Clean&Jerk. 4- Pull-ups (Wighted, of course, and with a thick bar will always be better). Everyday. Change variations every day (Repeat main variation twice per week). Week 1: 3x3 (80%) Week 2: 5x2 (85%) Week 3: 6x1 (Go for singles at least at 90%, leave your ass there!) Deload. Measure how much of a badass you have become. Repeat.

[@sergiotl7378]

KasaresStern Interesting.

[@Vaalferatus]

+KasaresStern What do you mean by "change variations"? Can you explain it a little bit more? Thank you.

[@KasaresStern]

With variations i mean: -Hang and high-hang or power cleans in regards to the C&J (Depending on the sticking points and goals). -One-armed pull-ups, close-grip and neutral grip pull-ups in the pull-up department. -Push-press and weighted dips in the Overhead Press. Tweaking the main movement to maintain an ever-changing cycle.

[@dunnykz]

+KasaresStern Has your chest grown from this routine?

[@KasaresStern]

Not more than i needed it to... I mean, chest is not important to me (in fact, i couldn't care less about aesthetic development, it's just a byproduct). I started to tweak it with a heavy squat session (combined with heavily weighted dips) once per week to maintain proper structural balance in regards to movement chains, but just that. Even though it doesn't have much in the "pec" department, it's as useful as it looks in regards to global strength and power development, at least for me... But i'm eager to know more, so if anyone thinks he/she has something useful to add, by all means, do it.

It was Elliott’s story about having to use whatever scrap materials he could find that inspired me to see what I could build. My home gym is almost complete. Now I need a barbell and some plates. This is the really challenging part, because weights average about a dollar per pound.

This are my favorites that I find more effective in my workouts: Bench, deadlift, front/back squat, military press, trousers, shoulder overhead/push press, Russian kettlebell swing, bent over long bar Row, lat pulldown, toes to bar and running and drinks tons of water and sleep.

[@Jaccobtw]

1.) Pushups 2.) Pullups 3.) squats 4.) Planks Just add weight or increase reps if needed

I appreciate how practical and articulate you are. You might consider losing the foul language because you really don't need it. It simply detracts from the exceptional content you are delivering. I would love for my sons to hear you explain these things but would be hesitant to because of just a couple words (totally gratuitous) in the entire clip. It's funny how so many feel compelled to use them even though they are totally unnecessary. Hope you will accept that as constructive criticism to help your channel grow. Thanks for the excellent content.

[@dangriffith8966]

People have been trying to be more civilized for thousands of years. Foul language is base and degrading and he is clearly an intelligent guy. But it is his choice. I was simply giving some feedback from those like me who don't use such language to convey our thoughts but do respect the content he is delivering but don't want to teach that to our children.

[@cdenorch]

Dan Griffith Thanks Charlie Church.. You have added some lame criticism satisfy your ego..

[@menin84]

Herter actually, which nation do you live in? a car or some other method of transportation(like a public bus) is needed. otherwise, good luck getting to work 30 minutes away. You have to be mobile. Besides, what do you accomplish by using foul language? obviously Dan didn't m,ean to offend anyone. but here you are using some crazy rhetoric. Alas, the world of the offended. Tell me, what is accomplished with foul language? on the other hand, a car helps. (I don't use TV btw internet and personal computer replaced it for me). give a better example

[@menin84]

cdenorch Why must someone be religious to realize foul language is uneccessary? Dan was obviously just giving a suggestion. and youre obviously being a jerk.

[@menin84]

ultimately though I think once rules are established with a respectable authority children wont pick up whatever it is they see or hear. my father also indoctrinated me in the sense you propose... and I have not wavered because I as a teen I could think things through(back then what my father indoctrinated me with was worth much more than what some idiot said on a school bus). I imagine when you say children they're not actually still kids right?

I also will visualize myself doing dips as I fall asleep prior to my morning training. So thank you, Elliot. As turned off as I have been, you have convinced me to add dips to my training routine. I already like deadlifts and front squats -- chin ups are next.

I've been doing plate loaded tricep presses on a hammer strength machine which mimic dips. I have a pin loaded assisted dip / pull-up machine in our garage gym, but it's not heated so that's why I've been going to a gym to use the hammer strength machine. I'm planning on buying a rep fitness power rack for my basement gym, and that will come with a dip attachment. All that to tell you I'm making progress. Slow, steady, lifestyle changes designed to be permanent.

[@oeloel2653]

Jake Williams I think overhead press is more importanter than bench press because it needs a lot more stability. In bench pressing you have the support of the back

[@jakeman1397]

OelOel I don't disagree with you, but it still doesn't really work the chest much

[@oeloel2653]

Jake Williams let's remove deadlifts then and add the bench press :P

[@psychiatry-is-eugenics]

What if i can’t do one chin up ?

[@kerrysnyder9810]

You can do negatives. Start at the top of the lift instead of lifting yourself there and then slooowwwwlllllyyyy let yourself down. In fact, a slow negative on most exercises works and strengthens your muscles much more.

Day 1: Deadlift 5x3 Muscle-Up (weighted if you can) 5x5 Day 2: Squat 5x5 Clean & Press 5x5 Take a day off between each workout. You can add box jumps and sprints if you want for additional plyometric work. Gotta be strong enough to do muscle ups though.

[@polvoradelrey2423]

My 6 exercises: -Deadlifts -Dips -Pull ups/Chin Ups -Shoulder Press -Face Pull/Band Pull Apart -Sprints

[@timheld4102]

Pólvora Del Rey Nice Routine ^^ how about: 1. Deadlifts 2. Squats 3. Pullups 4. Shoulderpress 5. Barbell Row 6. Barbell Benchpress 3 Times a week, everything for 2 sets, 8-15 reps. Done

[@oscarstenberg2745]

Gym once a week ONLY Squat Bench/Dip Deadlift Push press Weighted chin/Barbell row Only one set, once a week. Do 5 reps and add a rep when you can, and when you get to 10 you add weight and go back down to 5. You can also start it off by doing heavy triples of clean & push press, or end it off with 3-5 reps of that every 1-2 min until exhaustion. The rest of the week you can do sprints, handstand push ups, one arm push ups and pull ups, dips etc. I think, over the years, consistency will get you far. You will have energy and time for sports or other things in life. Calisthenics for body control or just pump out volume. As long as gym strength improves over time, you will eventually get big. In 5 years you will be as big as a gym bro who trained for 1-2 years, and more athletic. You'll also be stronger than anyone who just do running/calisthenics.

[@apuuvah]

There are a few things I would like o be able to do. Hand stand, hand walking, hand stand push-up, backflip, full split (Van Damme style), muscle-up and preferably at least one decent one arm chin-up. Add to that a decent vertical jump. To be able o do these, you must be pretty darn athletic. You can't do weightlifting (snatch and clean & jerk) without bumper plates and a weightlifting platform. Pretty much conventional deadlift and ass-to-grass squats are the best exercises when it comes to lifting weights. Add barbell row and chin-ups and pull-ups and you don't need much else.

[@lars526]

janez jesenko Yoga is something that a person can do well into old-age. There are many types, some of which require significant muscular strength and endurance. Yoga will not only give you flexibility, but it will improve your movement economy, body alignment, it will teach you how to breath properly and shift your energy, it will establish a mind-body connection making you fully aware of all the functions and systems of the human body. It is possibly one of the healthiest practices an athlete or any person can incorporate into their lifestyle. Nordic Skiing is perhaps among the most strenuous full-body workouts you could possibly do. It requires extreme amounts of muscular and cardiovascular endurance, and utilizes the strength of nearly every muscle group in the body. XC skiing is hard fucking work. It will also get you outside, breathing fresh air and getting sunlight, and it engages a primal instinct in most people. On top of all this it is just a practical thing to do...northern Europeans used to travel and hunt this way...there may be a day when you don't have the luxury of an automobile, and the Nordic Skiers will be the ones surviving.

How many times per week could I perform these and still have enough time for recovery? Like for instance: Monday - Deadlift and dips. Tuesday - Front squats and chi ups. Then repeat on Thursday and Friday? That would leave a minimum of two days of rest between using the same muscles. Is that sufficient? (Trying to get to the gym as often as possible I do 5 days a week now).
